Lyrics
I was guilty with nothing to say,
And they were coming to take me away.
But then a voice from heaven was heard, which said,
“Let her go, and take me instead!”
Refrain:
And I should have been crucified,
I should have suffered and died.
And I should have hung on the cross in disgrace,
But Jesus, God’s Son, took my place.
Crown of thorns, the spear in His side,
And the pain should have been mine.
Those rusty nails were meant for me,
And yet Jesus took them, and let me go free!
And I should have hung on the cross in disgrace,
But Jesus, God’s Son, took my place.
